This bachelor thesis focuses on exploring plant-based alternatives to milk, dairy, meat and meat products. The thesis is divided into two parts, theoretical and practical. The theoretical section examines the nutrients found in milk and meat, ingredients used in plant-based alternatives to dairy and meat products, the nutrients they contain and their impact on human health. In the next chapter I summarize the legislation concerning meat and milk, this is followed by a chapter examining ultra-processed foods (which include plant-based alternatives to meat and dairy), and another chapter focused on vegetarianism - characterizing its different types, explaining its benefits and risks and describing its history. The primary objective of this thesis was to investigate public awareness of plant-based alternatives to milk, dairy and meat products, with a secondary goal of comparing the views of vegetarians and vegans to non-vegetarians. The first part of the practical section is an evaluation of an anonymous non-standardized questionnaire. This survey was used to determine the respondents' awareness of plant-based products and their nutritional value. A total of 349 people participated, including 222 non-vegetarians, 88 vegans, and 39 vegetarians (lacto-ovo vegetarians) from various age groups and...
Nutrition in Acne vulgaris
LIAKH, Tetiana
Acne Vulgaris is a skin condition that can be affected by several different factors. These include hormonal imbalances and genetic predisposition from internal factors and stress, air pollution and diet from external factors. Medication has been the preferred treatment for this condition, however changes in lifestyle and diet has recently been identified as another approach to aid this skin ailment. Certain components in our diet such as vitamin D, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial for decreasing inflammatory responses in the skin and promoting overall better skin condition. Some evidence suggests that consumption of foods with low glycaemic index can also be beneficial. There is, however, inconclusive evidence about the effects of consumption of dairy and chocolate products on acne. The aim of this bachelor thesis is to monitor how diet can affect acne and to identify negative and positive effects of consumption of certain foods on skin condition. This thesis was done by quantitative method with questionnaires and participants of this study were individuals of 18-25 years of age with diagnosed Acne vulgaris. The results showed that diet can have an effect on acne. Some components showed to have a negative impact on acne and skin condition in almost 3/4 of participants. Consumption of foods with high glycaemic index, chocolate products and alcohol were the most prevalent substances that caused worsening of acne. However, there was nosignificant evidence of the relationship between dairy products consumption and worsening of acne. The results showed that stress was a major factor in almost 3/4 of the participants on worsening of acne. It is possible, however, that this could be also due to changes in diet during periods of stress. The findings also showed that more than 1/2 of the participants do not regularly use dietary supplements that contain vitamin D, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids. More than 1/3 of participants tend to avoid consumption of certain foods to aid with acne. It is crucial to note that every organism reacts differently to different types of food and that diet is not the only factor affecting the skin condition and acne. Nevertheless, adhering to a healthy diet can help reduce acne symptoms and maintain an overall healthy skin condition.

Food supporting the intestinal microbiota
JAROLÍMOVÁ, Kristýna
Diet is an important factor that affects the composition and function of the gut microbiota. The aim of this bachelor thesis was to evaluate the possible influence of food representation in the diet on gut microbiota through a questionnaire survey. A total of 753 questionnaires were obtained. It was found that the majority of respondents (89%) believe that microorganisms are important for proper digestion. Women consume more fruit than men (34%, resp. 22%; P <0,01) and are more likely to follow alternative diets such as vegetarianism. Low daily consumption of fried and fast food was found to be favorable (5% of men and no women; P <0,01). The results of this study support the importance of diet as one of the factors influencing the gut microbiota. This issue is important in view of the increasing prevalence of diseases related to gut microbiota balance.

Vplyv retro marketingu na spotrebiteľské správanie a jeho využitie na trhu potravín v Českej republike
Balážová, Soňa
The diploma thesis deals with consumer behavior in the food market of retro products. The aim of the thesis is to propose marketing recommendations for the food market in the Czech Republic with regard to the use of retro marketing. In order to fulfil the objective, it was necessary to identify the factors influencing consumer behaviour. The data for the primary research were obtained by means of qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research was conducted via in-depth inter-views (n = 20) and quantitative research by questionnaire survey (n = 357). The results show that most Czech consumers are not familiar with the concept of retro marketing. Only half of them buy retro products. The feelings they experience with retro products are positive and are dominated by nostalgia and joy. The purchase of retro products is mostly influenced by the brand of the product, the consumer's me-mories and the quality. Consumers are also positive when a company refers to its history. They are also attracted by a re-clamation directed to the past, which makes them reminisce about the old days. The thesis concludes by proposing recommen-dations for businesses that leadto an increase in interest in retro products, contri-bute in increasing customer loyalty towards the companies, resulting in an increase in the business entities' sales.
